i bought these after skating some adidas hoop mids. i thought they were gonna be hard to get used to but they were honestly amazing right off out of the box. they look big but when you put them on they dont feel like it. super comfy. 100% recommend
I’ve had a few pairs and it’s always the soles blowing out that finishes them for me. The lynx og is my favourite shoe to skate but the soles seem to break through really quickly for me, not sure if that’s just me or if other people experience that aswell. I wear my skate shoes everyday whether I’m skating or not so that may explain it?
@@djhskate8290 why do you think so if you have not tried them? There are lots of non OG DC shoes that are great quality and skate good. And there are OGs that are worse quality. I think it mostly depends on the colorways and the materials used how a shoe holds up to skating. From my experience there are good and bad ones with any kind of skateshoe and brand. I'd say price to performance ratio is way better on most of the slim versions of OGs because they are widely available and often go on sale while the OGs are more rare and sell out before the price drops.
@@rollatorskatemovies6738 Fair point however I have skated other DC shoes (standard lines) that have the same materials and have blown out straight away, for example I purchased a pair of williams slims and after the 3rd day of skating the front of my shoe blew out! These shoes retail for 75 on the DC store however I could easily pick up a pair of vans old skool Pros or Nike SB Shane's and they would hold up alot better (using retail price for all three) Quality of the shoes is better on both and they are 10 pounds less. After skating OGs and watching people like shanahan and Kevin skating the lynx its hard to get hyped on the lynx zero's! I really don't want to hate on DC but it's so frustrating them being a staple in skateboarding from day 1 put out poor shoes! Maybe I should try the lynx zero and see what they are like 👍 thanks for the comment! 🙌
@@djhskate8290 Ok I understand. I have not tried the Williams Slims but I have seen reviews supporting your statements about them. They also said the sizing was off and made your heel slip out. I skate the Legacy Slim, I think I went through 6 or 7 pairs by now and they are 36€ to 45€ on the DC website on sale constantly. New colorways are 90€ but prices drop everytime a new collection is in the store. They all skate great but every colorway uses slightly different materials, some are better than others. I bought the Kalis OG Monkey Time at a way higher price and they had many flaws out of the box. After a few wears the sole seperated where the shoe bends on the side of the toebox. Maybe because the sole is transparent and they had to use a special glue. Shoes like the Nike Shane or the Vans Old Skool mostly use the same materials on every colorway. Dunks on the other hand (which are more comparable to an OG skateshoe imo) are different with every colorway too. I've skated Dunks that where nearly indestructible and some that were pretty bad. I might give the Lynx Zero a try myself, I've seen Jahmir Brown and other DC Pros skating those. But to be fair I have not seen those on sale so far. Interesting videos anyways, thanks a lot!
@@rollatorskatemovies6738 Yeah man, everyone has their preferences and has different experiences based on their skating style! These are just my experiences and my opinions, if you get along and love the standard lines then brilliant however they are not for me aha! Thanks for the support and comments!
I skated mine today for the first time, the grippy sole really impressed me and it felt very supportive.

go on dcshoes.com and search lynx i think thhey have all sizes
Have you skated the lynx zero by any chance?
No I haven't, but the quality of DC's standard line of shoes not OGs is terrible! So probably are awful

👍👍👍👍👍👍
You gotta dab some super glue on those threads before you skate any shoe… seriously makes them last waaaay longer.
